It's more a single user versus multi user mindset.
Right, and Lazarus is in what category???
In a multi-user environment (company network) an administrator will
manage all shared resources. In this case it makes sense to have
user-specific configurations separated from the other (read-only)
resources. Such environments will have only one Lazarus installation,
and no user will be ever allowed to modify or rebuild his local Lazarus
copy.
In all other cases (99.99%) of the Lazarus installations a single user
will use one or more copies of Lazarus, and should have best control
over his isolated copies. He must be able to update and rebuild Lazarus
at any time, even without administrative rights, what defeats the
installation of Lazarus in a protected directory or, even worse, in
multiple directories all over his machine, tied together by links and
artificial rules :-(
IMO the multi-user paradigm *only* applies to the official Lazarus
releases, if ever, while the SVN checkouts should support isolated
installations by default.
